Don't know about other OS'es but Windows don't like running videofootage in any mediaplayers while having d3d games running in the background. |
Windows has no problem with playing video while a game is running in the background. I generally do AH scans while watching anime without difficulty. The problem you're running into is that the video player isn't prioritized over WoW, so unless your processor is twice as fast as needed to play the video file, it isn't getting enough CPU time. This is easy to fix -- most media players have an option for "above normal" or "high" priority in the options somewhere, and if not you can manually set it with taskman (or just use a player that isn't terrible).

Finally, I also think the divx configuration/setup is the easiest.

DivX and XviD are different encoders for the same codec (MPEG-4 Layer 2 ASP). They used to have fairly different levels of implementation, but there's pretty much no difference these days.
